Late Wednesday, news broke that Ron DeSantis was one of 50 moderators of a white supremacist Facebook group known as the Tea Party. Just that. No "patriots" or location-specific designation. Just the Tea Party, which boasts nearly 100,000 members.
The group is a "sister group" to the Citizens for Trump group, which routinely cross-promotes racist, conspiratorial content from the Tea Party group.
On Thursday, there were only 49 group administrator/moderators. DeSantis no longer appeared on the list, but a review on Thursday morning indicated there were other Republican candidates for office still listed as group administrators.
For example, perennial Nevada candidate Danny Tarkanian was listed as an admin and a member. Tarkanian is running for a seat in the House of Representatives vacated when Jacky Rosen declared her candidacy for Dean Heller's seat.
Kelli Ward, who just lost her bid to run for Senator Jeff Flake's seat in November is another.
